TNB Staff Donate Almost RM1.28 Million To Ease Rakyat’s Burden Through Tabung WTP

KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 — Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) staff raised almost RM1.28 million over the span of eight days to be donated to those most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Peninsular Malaysia, especially the B40 group.

Since its launch on June 9th, more than 11,000 TNB staff have made voluntary salary deduction to the Tabung Warga TNB Prihatin (WTP), which will be distributed to the recipients in the near future.

“TNB’s Top Management and presidents of its unions/associations s have mutually agreed to set up the fund as a channel for TNB staff to collectively make voluntary donations.

“Alhamdulillah, in slightly over one week since the campaign started, TNB staff have made voluntary contribution to the Tabung WTP through deduction of their June and July salary,” said TNB President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ir. Baharin Din.

He is confident that the amount will continue to increase until the campaign ends on July 15th.

Baharin also said that the utility company will match every ringgit donated by TNB staff so that the fund will benefit more people.

“Having grown up in a challenging urban environment, I truly understand the difficulties faced by those who have lost their income or their job due to the current economic condition. I believe my colleagues in TNB are equally concerned about their plight.”

 The Tabung WTP will be disbursed in cash either via online banking or directly handed over to the recipients, subject to MKN SOP.

The recipients are selected from the B40 group comprising the disabled and those listed under e- Kasih, JKM and PPRT (Under the Ministry of Women & Community Development), State Zakat centres as well as feedback from TNB staff.

Apart from Tabung Warga TNB Prihatin (WTP), TNB has extended various assistance to more than 10,000 people from the B40 group with an allocation of almost RM9.5 million since early this year. Among others, the funds were used for rebuilding and repairing houses; buying food supplies and basic necessities; and providing pocket money.
